Plans for the week of March 23-27

Dear all, we hope you all had a great weekend and thx again for heroic efforts with project 1. This week we plan to conclude the discussion of Quantum Fourier Transforms (QFT) and discuss the quantum phase estimation (QPE) algorithm, both central algorithms in quantum computing.?

The material this week (due to Morten struggling with importing quantum circuits into jupyter-notebooks) is split in two:

1) the pdf file at https://github.com/CompPhysics/QuantumComputingMachineLearning/blob/gh-pages/doc/pub/week10/pdf/week10.pdf with all derivations and discussions of quantum circuits for QFT and QPE and a discussion of possible paths for the second project.

2) the jupyter-notebook with implementations of QFTs and the QPE. The latter is implemented for the extraction of eigenvalues of the 4 x4 Hamiltonian matrix similar to the one we had in project 1 as well as the Lipkin model from project 1. The notebook is at https://github.com/CompPhysics/QuantumComputingMachineLearning/blob/gh-pages/doc/pub/week10/ipynb/week10.ipynb

For those interested in working on these topics for project 2, these notes could then be of some help.

After the break, we will start discussing quantum machine learning algorithms and possibly also the QAOA algorithm.?

Best wishes to you all and thx again for project 1. We look forward to read and grade them.

Carl Fredrik and Morten

p.s. This week we have no explicit exercises for the exercise session. But you are welcome to come and discuss options for the second project.?
